An incredible moment, perfectly captured.

This bride and groom react to the release of birds like people running for their life. Maybe they didn’t expect this furious flapping to freedom or perhaps it’s a simple case of ornithophobia (fear of birds). But regardless of the reason, this is a delightful image created by a photographer with an eye for the moment and the skills of good photography, which, in this case, apparently required a quick reaction and a fast shutter speed.
